The craze for Stanley stainless steel drinking cups reached new levels last week when a woman was arrested and accused of stealing 65 of them, worth almost $2,500, from a store in California.

Police in Roseville, in Placer County, northeast of Sacramento, said Sunday that they were called Wednesday to a report of a theft from a store on Stanford Ranch Road in the city.

“Staff saw a woman take a shopping cart full of Stanley water bottles without paying for them. The suspect refused to stop for staff and stuffed her car with the stolen merchandise,” police said in a statement on Facebook.

    Completely off topic but…

    Does the Stanley cup have a sticker saying the product might cause cancer in the state of California?

    Also why does every product I see potential cause cancer in the state of California only?

    That is all. I’m too lazy to Google the question but thought I would annoy someone about it here.

    Thank you.

      California law. proposition 65

      Basically, they have a list of things “known to the state of California to cause cancer”. If a material on that list is used in a product, that product needs to have a “proposition 65” warning label in order to be sold in CA.

      Which, since everything is a polluted mess, basically everything is on that list.
